This will be my first blog. I'm starting this to post and archive anything and everything I can find about the increasingly popular Chinese Kickboxing called "sanshou". Some background on me, I've been doing martial arts since I was 8 years old. Started with Taekwondo, Aikido and when I came to the US, I started taking Sanshou (which at the time I thought was Kickboxing/Muay Thai).
I'm fascinated by how Sanshou has become a martial art sports instead of a brawl or a violent sport. Just in case you didn't know, Sanshou was part of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And they've got some really quick and tactical fighters on that tournament.
If you think all kickboxing tournament is muay thai and a fight is what you see on UFC, you might be surprised with the many variety, rules and style there is all around kickboxing. And I will post here the different styles or discipline that has come out of Kickboxing in general. But the main focus will be on Sanshou since it is what I do, and what I want to share with you.
Here's the wiki on sanshou:
Thanks and hope you enjoy the upcoming blogs.
